I wonder, whether the bus will take me home at all.

a web cam observing the road at the bus stop nearby

The bus stop here at my host’s place on Martinique is only like 50 meters away. The final bus stop in the other direction is only a couple of minutes away. So it would be worth observing the busses going to the final stop, assuming they will actually return after like 10 minutes or so. The advantage: as long as they don’t pass by, they also won’t return in my direction, so it’s not worth running to the bus stop. The busses are late quite often a litte late, and also sometimes they don’t show up at all.

Manzana verde – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My host on Martinique offered me a glass of manzana with ice cubes from his bar, I liked it.

This is from the entry on en.wikipedia.org:

Manzana, also known as manzanita and manzana verde, is a liqueur generally made of wild apples. The name refers to the apples and not the alcoholic beverage which is usually clear in color. It has Spanish origins, more precisely of the Basque country. Its name manzana is apple in Spanish; verde is Spanish for “green”.
